5. Midsommar
Trending
Unlike every other film, Midsommar places the gross ritualism of its celebration against the backdrop of the serene beauty of its pastoral location. In the context of a disintegrated relationship amid grief and trauma, the story depicts sunlit horror that makes up the emotional collapse of the protagonist. Even with Ari Aster's hard work of detailing and symbolism, the storytelling remains lively and intact in the room for debates about the nature of cults and belonging in communities.
